Three cheers to our fabulous Lady Bowbelle for her performance in the Lord Mayor's procession on Saturday!  Her picture courtesy of the EDP is the epitome of our wonderful Red Hat ethos,  a smile beyond smiles, our glorious colours, elegance, mischief.  All hail the Norfolk Broads.  We also had a Capella choir from our fantastic rock and rollers AND an expert jive demo throughout the route. Everyone looked spectacular!  Come and join the fun next year.

Another brilliant outing to Brick Lane Music Hall. Many thanks to Cathy for organising it this year. As ever we had a good laugh and the fine weather was with us so it was lovely sitting out having a bite to eat together before the performance. I was even lucky enough to win a raffle prize - a gorgeous (purple) orchid plus a box of chocolates. Also "met" two members who I had never seen before and had long conversations travelling home on the coach, so that was a really nice end to a great day.

Well what a great hoot today was. Celebrating Norfolk Broads 11th Birthday. Was so lovely to see so many Red Hat sisters enjoying themselves.

All credit goes to Queen Jude, Bossyboots Gina, plus all other people that helped to make these past 11 years possible. Without them we wouldn't be here today. Thank you so much for ALL Your hard work today and always. xxx

Many thanks again to Mave for organising another successful day trip - this time to the Laughter Show at the little theatre in Gorleston. It was great and thoroughly enjoyed after an hour or so in Gt Yarmouth where we had had time for coffee and mooched about in the shops for a while with the sun managing to shine on us all day!

Thank you so much Kathleen for yet another great day at your home and garden - this time to honour HM the Queen's 90th birthday! What a lovely day weather wise and what great company. We were spoilt no end with delicious scones and meringues and endless coffee/tea during the morning. Several of us stayed on into the late afternoon enjoying picnics that we had brought with us and discussing everything under the sun! (Literally!!). Perfect all round!

What a fabulous Medieval Feast Event we enjoyed on Sunday 15 May 2016 at the equally fabulous City Club in Norwich.

A really big thank you to Julie, (Harold Whore) 'young' Matthew and all the rest of the company who put so much effort into keeping us amused and entertained in such a splendid but different manner.

What a journey of discovery with Fartes, Liverings, Sippetts, Green Wort's and Wet Sucket's to name but a few (don't ask - you really had to be there!!!).

Just to thank the crew and any one else who arranged such a great 10th Birthday party for us at The Oaklands.  It always falls in the same week as my own birthday and this year was like a real party atmosphere.  Had a great time catching up with some I had not seen for a while. Now have the summer to look forward to with other events that are planned. Thanks again. x

This is your Great Auntie Jester Jilly saying a very big red loving and heartfelt thank you for my superb "Limited Edition" birthday card. (Reckon we're all "limited editions..don't you? and worth a fortune!)

Today needed cheering up....So pleased that I kept the date in my diary for coffee meet at Taverham... I do enjoy this hoot BUT TODAY was just brill. The laughs a minute were second to none...We did have the occasional sensible conversation in fact I thought it was normal chat about thongs, cuttings from dead plants, watering can roses on a silver tray and the X rated comments that cannot be printed. True red hat sisterhood fun. Loved it.

19 February 2016

Jester Jilly

Wow... haven't been to a lunch for a while BUT Oh! Red Hatters was I SO HAPPY I went this Thursday!
What a glorious gathering of good "old" purple and red and the beautiful faces and characters inside every outfit and under every hat. Just Brilliant!
How warming, how lovely, how rewarding, how proud I was to be one of you. XXX So fab to hug and kiss you, chat and laugh with you, share a trouble and hopefully let you know that I do care, do miss you when not able to attend functions and do love you.
Thank you,
Ciao Ciao, Jilly

Bellissimo!  What a treat, a wonderful authentic Italian meal on our (Attleborough) doorstep!  Many thanks to Mave for introducing us to this welcoming friendly venue and to Gina for organising our visit.

Thank you to all my Red Hat friends who took care of me at the races having been unwell there and to all those who came to see me, rang me, e-mailed, FB'd, sent cards, did shopping etc.  When you live alone you certainly appreciate having good friends around you. After two weeks I am now feeling better and hopefully back in action - looking forward to the Italian on Monday!! xx

I was lunching a today with 2 of my friends at Riverside in Norwich, when lo and behold we saw you ladies in all your finery walking along the riverside. I was intrigued and searched the Internet to find you just to say you all looked fabulous, and well done for looking so lovely and for turning so many heads.  Pat xx

Just wanted to say what a pleasure it was to see you all walking though Hingham, while I was helping a friend with their overgrown garden. You were all very colourful and looked like you were enjoying your wander. I even had a cheeky offer of removing all the sticky buds from my trousers. Good to see your fun sides are still on form :)

Certainly brightened up an already hot and sunny day :)

Calling all Norfolk Broads! Let's raise our glasses, a loud cheer and say a sincere thanks to our Mave and Jack for the fabulous Hatmobile they created for us for the LMP.  Mave sewed and glittered following her hip replacement, Jack's engineering ingenuity produced a wheelie light, moveable flowerpot that so declared our Red Hat Spirit. So here's to you gracious Lady Muck, and Jack, you deserve a Red Sock peerage, so here's to you, the suave Lord Handy Pandy! CHEERS!

What a lovely relaxing afternoon spent at Kathleen's in Thorpe End at her elegant vintage tea-party! From the welcoming punch to tasty sandwiches, scones and scrumptious cakes and tea served in beautiful china to the fun of blowing bubbles and some attempting to play croquet, it was all great. Thank you Kathleen, a thoroughly enjoyable time had by all.
